Fermented Green Tea Extract Alleviates Obesity and Related Complications and Alters Gut Microbiota Composition in Diet-Induced Obese Mice

Abstract: Obesity is caused by an imbalance between caloric intake and energy expenditure and accumulation of excess lipids in adipose tissues. Recent studies have demonstrated that green tea and its processed products (e.g., oolong and black tea) are introduced to exert beneficial effects on lipid metabolism. Here, we propose that fermented green tea (FGT) extract, as a novel processed green tea, exhibits antiobesity effects. FGT reduced body weight gain and fat mass without modifying food intake. mRNA expression level… Show more

“…However, after 8 wk, body weight gain was reduced in HFD mice administered with 0.2% and 0.8% TP. Consistent with a previous report, fermented green tea extract reduced body weight gain without a decrease in food intake (Seo et al., ). Moreover, 3 doses of TP equally decreased blood glucose levels elevated by the HFD and improved glucose tolerance in HFA mice.…”

“…transresveratrol [103]) have been used extensively. Often, such studies demonstrate that the test substance or (poly)phenol-rich commodity modulate the composition of the gut microbiota and / or ameliorate the harmful effects of the test animal's less than ideal diet [101][102][103][104][105][106][107][108].…”

“…Although this was associated with reduced serum insulin and insulin resistance, these effects were also reported for resveratrol which scarcely modified the profile of gut bacteria 47 . Similarly, fermented green tea extract was reported to alter the composition of gut microbiota and this was linked to a decrease in fat mass, reduced inflammation and alleviation of glucose intolerance 48 . Further, a polyphenol-rich cranberry extract was reported to protect mice from diet-induced obesity and metabolic perturbations, which was associated with a proportional increase in Akkermansia spp.…”
